I had Mmtem Porsche do an alignment on Friday. The mechanic that helped (Pablo) said there was nothing I could do about the camber because of the lowering springs I have. I am interested in upgrading some of the components to allow for full adjustablity. It seems this will help with tire wear too. Any suggestions?

Also, this is the third alignment I have had and the car still pulls to the right slightly under normal driving conditions and braking. Pablo and Ricky at Mmtem suggested it may be tire pull. Any suggestions?

 

A few months ago mine started pulling to the right under normal driving. Took it in for alignment and they had to swap the tires left to right to stop the pull. They tried adjusting it three times and after a ride check finally swapped left and right sides. It then pulled slightly left and they readjusted. It is fine now but the wrench suggested new tires.

 

Go to Sam Shalala at Protechnik.

 

could you elaborate on what you mean when you say there is nothing you can do because of the springs.

to gain more camber adjusment+/- you can get 2 piece lower control arms which use shims to achieve the desired camber #'s i believe they are a GT3 item.

 

derek k,
Do you have a source or a part number? anyone else? Thanks for the idea!

you have new tires right?

 

^^^Yes. They have about 2000 miles on them. Not really sure if that means new anymore!?!? I've heard they are going to last all of 5000 miles.

 

TXGold,

here are the part #'s, motorsport items

inner 996 341 441 90
rubber insert for inner 996 331 241 04
outer 996 341 121 90

and the shims are 996 341 543 90 - 1mm
996 341 543 91 - 2mm
996 341 543 92 - 3mm
996 341 543 93 - 7mm
996 341 543 94 - 11mm
996 341 543 95 - 10mm

these part numbers are for the front. Do you need the rear as well?? i can look them up....

 

Actually I do. The rears are in need the most. Thanks a ton.

 

rears are,

outer 996 331 121 90
inner 996 341 541 90

the GT3 cup manual is a bit sketchy, if you message me with your e mail i can send you the pages from the manual.

 

I have searched Suncoast and Pelican both and have found nothing with these part numbers. Can anyone be so kind as to steer me in the right direction? Thanks D, PM sent.

Hey Ryan, The good thing about taking your car to Sam at Protecnic is he usually has performance parts if needed.I will be taking my car to him tomorrow for corner balancing & alignment. I will let you know my opinion.

 

TX, call TRG, 707-935-3999 ( i think i remember seeing some on the shelf) and ask for Austin.

I am trying to figure out how to send you the pages from the manual without sending the whole manual.

 

Thanks for the help ya'll.
Paulie, I talked to Sam for about thirty minutes today. He sounds like he really enjoys his work. I am intersted in what you find out, especially about your camber settings front and back. Being that your car is lowered about like mine, the settings should be similiar.
Derek, just got the email, and i thank you for your help, greatly.
Good weekend everyone.
Ryan

 

Ryan, I have pss9 coilovers on mine,I think they allow for more adjustment?
